Answer:

the following studies may fail to yield the desired information because

(a) i. some of the students might have died before 2015.

ii. Some people might lie based on the questionnaire sent.

So based on the two factors above the desired information might be altered or incorrect.

(b) i. individuals may be unwilling to provide accurate answers during the survey.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information may be altered when individuals are asked about their income or spending in other to show off to friends or the person asking the questions.

Suppose an=3an-1 -5an-2 -4an-3. and a4= -7, a5=-36, a6=-85 , find a1 , a2, a3

maria [59]

Answer:

$a_1=4\\\\a_2=0\\\\a_3=3$

Explanation:

The equation is:

$a_n=3a_{n-1}-5a_{n-2}-4a_{n-3}$

and

$a_4=-7, a_5=-36, a_6=-85$

<u>1. Subsittute n = 6 into the equation:</u>

$a_6=3a_{5}-5a_{4}-4a_{3}$

Now subsititute the known values:

$-85=3(-36)-5(-7)-4a_{3}$

You can solve for $a_3$

$-85=-108+35-4a_{3}\\\\4a_3=12\\\\a_3=12/4\\\\a_3=3$

<u />

<u>2. Substitute n = 5 into the equation:</u>

$a_5=3a_{4}-5a_{3}-4a_{2}$

Substitute the known values and solve for $a_2$

$-36=3(-7)-5(3)-4a_{2}\\\\4a_2=-21-15+36=0\\\\a_2=0$

<u>3. Substitute n = 4 into the equation, subsitute the known values and solve for </u> $a_1$ <u />

$a_4=3a_{3}-5a_{2}-4a_{1}$

$-7=3(3)-5(0)-4a_{1}\\\\4a_1=9+7=16\\\\a_1=4$

Help please!!!!!!!!!!!!

iragen [17]

Answer:

When you fill in the blanks you get ($0.25*x)+(0.1*y)+(0.05*z). When you evaluate it you get $1.35, which is the total amount of change in her pocket.

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the numbers that are given in the equation are values of the coins (ex: a quarter is worth $0.25) and the variables are the different coins. Multiply the quantity of each coin (that's the variable) by its value then add them together. Finally, plug in the numbers it gives you for x, y, and z.

D.sqrt(2+x^/2)<br> Solve this question please

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option a.

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the options, we can assume that the function y(x) is something like:

$y = \sqrt{4 + a*x^2}$

$y' = (1/2)*\frac{1}{\sqrt{4 + a*x^2} }*(2*a*x) = \frac{a*x}{\sqrt{4 + a*x^2} }$

such that, y(0) = √4 = 2, as expected.

Now, we want to have:

$y' = \frac{x*y}{2 + x^2}$

replacing y' and y we get:

$\frac{a*x}{\sqrt{4 + a*x^2} } = \frac{x*\sqrt{4 + a*x^2} }{2 + x^2}$

Now we can try to solve this for "a".

$\frac{a*x}{\sqrt{4 + a*x^2} } = \frac{x*\sqrt{4 + a*x^2} }{2 + x^2}$

If we multiply both sides by y(x), we get:

$\frac{a*x}{\sqrt{4 + a*x^2} }*\sqrt{4 + a*x^2} = \frac{x*\sqrt{4 + a*x^2} }{2 + x^2}*\sqrt{4 + a*x^2}$

$a*x = \frac{x*(4 + a*x^2)}{2 + x^2}$

We can remove the x factor in both numerators if we divide both sides by x, so we get:

$a = \frac{4 + a*x^2}{2 + x^2}$

Now we just need to isolate "a"

$a*(2 + x^2) = 4 + a*x^2$

$2*a + a*x^2 = 4 + a*x^2$

Now we can subtract a*x^2 in both sides to get:

$2*a = 4\\a = 4/2 = 2$

Then the solution is:

$y = \sqrt{4 + 2*x^2}$

The correct option is option a.
